Let me LOL

When I started blogging, very often on some comments I read "lol" after a sentence. As always when I don't understand a thing I google ! (which btw is a new verb too) and now I know ! LOL is an acronym for "laughing out loud" or "laugh out loud", and is a common element of Internet slang. But then sometimes I read "LMAO", and had to google again ! When I learned that it meant "laughing my ass off" I decided to rather use "LMPO", which would mean that I laugh my posterior off. I don't have an ass, I am a lady !

LOL was first documented in the Oxford English Dictionary in March 2011. WOW !

Hi Gattina! Well I also google a lot and... learn a lot! But every time I answer comments people write on my blog,I see new words like SIL, BIL, FIl, MIL. Now I understand that these abbreviations refer to the in-laws.Good introduction, Gattina!

Too funny. I like LMPO. The first time I encountered LOL was when my daughter sent me IMs when she was in college. It took me a long time to figure out what it was. My guesses were all wrong. Finally I asked her.

Very cute post, LOL! I am new to ABC Wednesday...have enjoyed others' posts over many months and was encouraged by my Mom to join in. She's relatively new also...Latane at Living Life on Main Street/ It's a New Day, A New Life.

wow, that's in the Oxford already? they must have major researchers, what with our language changed almost daily, I think!I like your lol better than the a- - one. I taught school for 33 years; I prefer to not spread trash talk.
